Currently, many farmers use organic fertilizer in their cultivation because it is considered practical. However, its continuous use can result in soil degradation. One effort that can be made is to use organic fertilizer. There are two forms of organic fertilizer, namely solid and liquid fertilizer. Liquid organic fertilizer (POC) is a fertilizer that comes from the decomposition of organic materials due to the activity of microorganisms which can be useful in maintaining soil health and increasing plant productivity. The purpose of this training is to create healthy agriculture and environment. The implementation method used is to provide material and direct training to the community.
